The 1905 Committee stands for civic engagement and accountability. Our purpose has always been, and remains, to hold Premier Danielle Smith accountable to the true conservative values she was elected to uphold.
Many see this weekend as a “defeat” for the 1905 Committee, but in reality, the exact opposite is true.
This is what success looks like.
1. Unprecedented Engagement: Over 6,000 Albertans attended the UCP AGM, marking the largest political gathering in Canadian history. This turnout shows a groundswell of civic participation.
2. Proof of Public Pressure: In the weeks leading up to the AGM, a rapid succession of legislative proposals was put forth, demonstrating that public pressure can drive meaningful results.
3. High Expectations Set: Due to this pressure, Danielle Smith has set a high bar of expectations and must now follow through with impactful and timely actions. The bar has never been higher.
4. Unwavering Conservative Support: With 91.5% support for the Premier, any cabinet minister or staff member who hinders the conservative mandate does so at their own peril. The mandate for conservative values is now indisputable.
5. A Moment for Bold Action: There has never been a better time for the Premier to act boldly and fulfill the promises made in her powerful speech.

But the problem has not gone away. Instead, the government has given it a different form.
Bill 14 has moved it from the beginning to the end of the process. The final provision of Bill 14 amends the Referendum Act.
That’s the statute under which a referendum would be held. Before Bill 14, under the Referendum Act a successful independence referendum would have been binding on the government. But not anymore. Bill 14 says the government is not required to implement the results of a referendum
“if doing so would contravene sections 1 to 35.1 of the Constitution Act, 1982.”
Those are the same words that caused the trouble in the repealed section 2(4) of the CIA. Independence “contravenes” sections 1 to 35.1. If Albertans vote to leave Canada, the Alberta government now has the power to refuse.
I put this ...
Although I agree with pretty much everything she says, she misses the bottom line for all these insane recall petitions…the NDP’s goal is to take over government. The can’t win it legitimately in an election so they’re trying to do it via disruption. They don’t want change in our system, they just want to rule.

The current wave of recall petitions sweeping across Alberta — with 21 MLAs now facing recall efforts — represents a fundamental misunderstanding of both our democratic system and the purpose of recall legislation itself. While petitioners cite disagreements over Bill 2 and the use of the notwithstanding clause to end the teachers' strike, they're actually attacking the very foundation of our Westminster parliamentary system while pretending the problem lies with individual MLAs.
Let's be clear: the Recall Act was designed to address corruption, unethical behavior, and serious misconduct — not policy disagreements. When former Premier Jason Kenney introduced this legislation, it was meant to hold politicians ...
